I did translate the German text - Both meticulous and scrupulous are listed a possible translations of peinlich: https://www.dict.cc/?s=peinlich+
I just picked the word that to me fit best. 😊

Okay..ich gebe dir upv..aber ich dachte, wir übersetzen den deutschen Text😘🤔

Yes, I think the word was not translated correctly in the German edition - I didn't think embarrassing fit very well. The word I chose, meticulous, is actually a synonym for scrupulous, so I caught the meaning correctly after all ... 🤗

Aber peinlich bedeutet...Embarrassing... 🤔..hmmm??

by anitafunny 1 year ago

The word in the original text is "scrupulous" - I like it better and will put in a new translation ... thanks! 🥰

I'm not sure exactly how he means that - let me check with the original if I can. ...
